Early this summer he got little
money and moved to a boarding-house
near the Old market, and on the night
of July 18th, under the influence Of
liquor, he retired to his room, and was
found the next morning lying in the
middle of the floor dead. His remains
were buried by the city authorities,
and now lay at rest in the Potter's field.
At times Wilson would speak of his

The latter river is OF but recent dis
covery, for though it runs almost par

in an estuary about thirty miles north
of the aforementioned river. it seems to
have hitherto escaped notice, even the
traders of the Yukon river conceding
that they knew nothing of the Noatak,
although it had figured vaguely on the
latest maps of Alaska.
The volume concludes with an inter.

on the natural history and ethnology of
nothern Alaska, a report that in itself
is sufficient to upset the popular idea
that that section is a bleak and barren
waste. In short, the volume of which

Know One Thing Well.

II has been remarked that the farm
els who best succeed in this country
are those who devote their chef atten-
lion to some one product which is fav-
ored by their special soil and climate.
There is q county in New Jersey
and town in Michigan where farm
ers grow rich by raising n vegetable so
unimportant as celery; one region
of Long Island thrives upon asparagus;
parts of Delaware upon peaches;
the Gulf States upon cotton; northern
Vermont upon grass in its various
forms of milk, butter, cheese and beef;
northern New York, upon potatoes
transmitted into starch; Iowa upon
corn condensed into pork and whisky.
BY concentrating his attention upon
a single product or class of products,
and that product favored by nature,
the farmer surpasses competitors in
other places. There is a world of Sc
crets involved in the raising of a fine
field of cabbages. Try one row of
fifty plants, and you will wonder how
one man ever succeeded in winning the
victory over the acute, numerous and
unslumbering rivals who dispute with
you the possession of every leaf.
The special farmer must Of necessity
possess all the erudition of his special
ity, and he succeeds because he does.
A man became rich on the Hudson by
raising one variety of apples, the New
town Pippin, which brought the best
price in Europe and India. There are
farmers in Virginia who gain a large
revenue by the raising of peanuts. 10

An inquest was held yesterday on the
body of Michael Wager, the unfortunate
man who was cut in pieces by train on
Sunday evening. and after due delibera
ton the jury found that it was an accl
dent. The testimony was mainly as fol
lows:
Mrs. Flora Adams testified that she
was standing talking with her husband
in the railroad yard, but did not see the
accident, although she saw the body
afterwards and heard the screams.
William Marson swore that he was
driving the street car that ran alongside
of the train. He was within thirty feet
of the second crossing when he heard q
whistle and applied the brake and
stopped. Heard people halloaiug to
some person; looked around and saw a
man walk from behind the car and step
in front of the train. He looked around
at the street car and then the train
struck him and threw him across one Of
the tracks. Thought he was confused
by the people on the street car halloaing.
Robert Strauss was standing on the
back end of the sreet.car; heard q
whistle, heard the train men hallOaing
and noticed them signalling to stop.
The hatcar was then almost on top OF
the man, who did not look towards the
train.
W.. R. Smith, switchman, testified
that he noticed street.car running the
same way as the train; heard the engi-
neer whistle to warn it not to cross; saw
the street-car stop. The engine and car
had Stacked up at that time; did not
notice any person ON the track until the
train had passed the crossing, when he
noticed an object on the track. The
train was running about three or four
miles an hour.
James Wales, switchman, noticed Q
man walking fast across the street and
halloaed to him. He did not seem to
pay much attention. He seemed deter
mined to get across the track ahead of
the engine. ana did not pay any atten-
ton to the train.
j. G. Heinman, the engineer, testified
that he was not running more than four
miles an hour
